Happy are the poor in spirit: 

They are children of the kingdom. 

Blessed the pure of heart for they shall see 

The glory of the Lord. 

Happy those who mourn in sorrow: 

For the Lord will send them comfort. 

Blessed those who thirst for holiness 

For they shall drink and have their fill. 

Rejoice, rejoice and be gladsome. 

Exult, exult leap for joy. 

Your reward is great in heaven: 

Be gladsome and rejoice! 

Happy are the meek and humble: 

Yes, the earth they will inherit. 

Blest the merciful for God will grant 

His mercy to them all. 

Happy, happy the peacemakers: 

For they live as God's own children.

Blessed those who work for justice: 

The kingdom of heaven is theirs.
